Anonymous asked: Hey. I don't know if I'll be much help with your skating jumps but I'll give you all the advice my coaches give me.
For the flip - make sure your legs don't spread too far apart when you actually dig in for the take off. So, pretty much keep your thighs together. This is only temporary though, until you get the feel for the jump, then you can dig back as far as you want and you will automatically get your ankles crossed because your body will just know what to do.
As for the lutz - this jump is a b***h. I actually haven't hated anything in skating more! and i broke my tail bone three times on other jumps! My current coach lovvvvesss the lutz so he's trying to make me love it too. all i can give for this is to actually dig really far behind your other leg before you take off. not sure if youre a right or left skater. im right so for me, i stand on my left leg, then dig my right leg across behind my left. it's hard to explain, but its so they're already crossed before you take off :)
Hope this helps :)
Thanks! I thought about keeping my thighs together yesterday during practice and it helped a few of my flips. Thank you so much :)
Things to Work on (Besides Moves Test…which is in like, a week….)
1. Flip
2. Half-Loop - Flip
3. Waltz Jump, Half-Loop, Salchow
4. Loop-Loop
5. Camel spin, Sit spin, Back spin
…fml.
btw…this video is not me….just things I need to work on. Sometimes I watch videos like this and feel inadequate.
Anyone know a way to help me with my jumps….this only applies to jumps that take off on the opposite foot you land on (so flip and lutz, basically, is all I need help with now)…my problem is I don’t cross my ankles in the air, they just kind of spaz and then I land….
any advice/ exercises on how to get my legs crossed?
Thanks!
Flip jump….any advice?
